you like men: be strong.”
And that is my New Year’s
wish for us all; that we may be
strong. That even if we are not
able to say with Edwin Markham,
“I laugh and lift hands to the
years ahead. Come on, I am
ready for you”, we may have
strength to undertake what may
await us, th<» jK ,y of labor, and
the satisfa cion in 1939 of having
tried to 4o a good piece of work. \
There are probably few of us
who do not condemn the elder
brother in the parable of the prod
igal son. But until he felt faint
ly sure of the younger brother’s
genuine repentance, he might have
lome of our sympathy. More than
-•o t have known of a prodigal
Lhe old home with
to be made as one of
servants. Instead the
idea seemed to be that the
should discharge the hir
ed servants, do the work
selves, and hand over to the, prod
igal the amount thus savfcd. In
return he would regale them with
stories of the far countries; gay
details, considerably expurgated,
of riotous living; would make
wisecracks about the swine and
the husks; and would intimate
it was homesickness and not emp
tiness that prompted his return.
General News
A survey of weather reports for
the entire year shows that 1938
has had no more extremes than are
usual. Not as much rain fell as
is normal, and the summer had
more cool days than are often
seen . . . The famous novel
ist, Zona Gale, died on Tuesday of
this week at the age of 64. Her
writing was chiefly of the mid
west section, and her most well
known production was “Miss Lulu
Bett.” Her works are popular . .
i>r. Schroeder of Chicago, Director
of the Institute for Juvenile Re
search, claims that more criminals
come from slums surrounding large
industrial areas than elsewhere in
this country. He believes the small
space for recreation in homes se
sponsible in a great degree for
criminal tendencies . . . Golds
boro, town in eastern North Caroli
na, said to have the most lovely
decorations for the Christmas sea
son, plans to enlarge upon the idea
used this year and have an even
greater display in 1939 . . .
Congressman Frank Hancock
has been appointed to a place on
the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board. His seat in Congress will be
taken by A. D. Folder of Mt. Airy.
Senator Reynolds opposed the ap
pointment of Hancock, who op
posed him in the recent election .
. . Bandits robbed Woolworth’s
five and ten cent store in Raleigh
of SI2OO about noon last Friday,
holding up men who had started
to leave the store to deposit the
money. The robbers escaped
through the back door and into a
nearby car, although pursued at
once . . . Lake Waiau in Ha
waii, is probably higher up than
any other lake in the world. Newly
